Shrunken Heads

[Hawk the QM]

Ok so I've been having a couple problems finding good looking, non-rubber shrunken heads for my accessories. My dad tossed an idea out yesterday to just carve out some apples like a pumpkin, stitch the eyes and mouth closed and let them dry out for about few a few weeks. Possibly put a coating on them so they don't break apart.

I laughed at this idea because it's just too funny (and easy) to pass up. If you saw a pirate with these would you find it funny or just stupid?

While I'm on the topic. What other fruit would look good for this?

I've got me a collection and am still adding to it...

A guy here who called himself Ace Of harbor made some killer ones..

i wished I had bought more ..The next ones I want are the Peruvian ones.

They look really authentic.. I work too much so I don't have time to peel apples.

My Boss bought me a good one a few years ago.... But I can't find the web page where they sold them... it was only about $40. and it looks very real....

There be one other place, have one for similar t' Oderlesseye's and be made o' leather 'n real hair; sells for about $37 only th' link I have at home 'n naught on this computer at work. They sell real chicken's feet (naught fake ones like Jack wears!) 'n plenty o' skull beads.

If no one else has posted th' link, 'n if I can get int' me computer when I get home, then I will post their link tonight....

Now, as for th' original question: Would I find a pirate with shriveled up apples tied t' he's belt Funny 'er just Stupid?

Well mate, me first thought would be: "SURVEY! HE DID NAUGHT EAT HE'S FRUIT!!"

The next thing I would think would be: "Bet he do naught get many whores, naught with all them worms what must be crawl'n in he's breeches"
